Other conditions Board decisions

The veteran was found to have adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland, qualifying for nonservice-connected pension benefits effective December 4, 2004.

The veteran's service-connected skin disability results in tender lesions on each foot, which are rated as a compensable evaluation of 10 percent for each foot. The claim is granted.

The Board has determined that the veteran's degenerative changes of the spine may be presumed to have been incurred in service due to his active duty deployment and manual labor duties.

The veteran's PTSD has been rated at 50 percent since January 25, 2005. The RO has ordered additional VA examinations to assess the current severity of his PTSD symptoms and determine if a higher rating is warranted.

The Board denied the appellant's petition to reopen her claim for service connection for the cause of the veteran's death, finding no new and material evidence that would support reopening the claim.

The Board denied service connection for defective right ear hearing in May 1950, finding no evidence of a pre-existing condition. The RO later granted service connection based on new evidence received after the initial decision.

The Board has determined that there is no new and material evidence to reopen the claim for service connection for cause of death, as the evidence does not suggest any cause of death related to military service.

The veteran's medical expenses at EMMC from March 25, 2005 to April 3, 2005 are denied as he was stabilized on that date and VA could not accommodate his transfer.

The veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of unauthorized medical expenses incurred at Longview Regional Medical Center is being remanded due to the need to locate his original claims file and verify his enrollment in VA healthcare during the relevant time period.

The veteran withdrew his appeal, thus the case is dismissed.

The veteran's application for enrollment in the VA medical healthcare system was denied as he did not meet the eligibility criteria and his application was received after January 17, 2003.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not have bronchial pneumonia and therefore, service connection for this condition is denied. The issue of entitlement to service connection for a right eye disability remains pending.

The Board has ordered the case to be remanded for further development and readjudication, including consideration of whether VA or other Federal facilities were feasibly available.

The Board has granted a partial waiver of overpayment for the period from January 28, 2002 to December [redacted], 2002. The veteran notified VA of his incarceration on January 28, 2002 and was entitled to reduced compensation benefits due to his felony conviction.

The Board has determined that the veteran's Haglund's deformity with calcaneal heel spurs was incurred in active military service.

The Board has remanded the case to obtain a peer review of the medical records and determine if the veteran's hoarseness was reasonably foreseeable as a result of his VA care. The veteran is seeking compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for partial loss of voice.

The Board has remanded the case to the RO for additional action as set forth in the Memorandum Decision. The veteran's claim of entitlement to an increased initial evaluation for a non-ulcer dyspepsia is pending.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development to determine if the veteran's skin condition, including chronic urticaria, is related to his exposure to herbicides in Vietnam.

The Board dismissed the appeal due to withdrawal of the Substantive Appeal by the appellant's counsel.

The Board found that the veteran's claimed disabilities were not caused by his in-service exposure to ionizing radiation and denied service connection for multinodular goiter, recurrent parotitis, and related conditions.
